I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual therapy and psychological assessment for children, families and adults. My office is located with the Colorado Psychiatric Group and our offices are conveniently located less than a mile from Highway 36.

In addition, I am a certified Child and Family Investigator. As a CFI, it is my job to investigate parenting roles and make recommendations based on the best-interests of the children. I provide impartial, objective and comprehensive reports for families throughout Colorado.
